| What would you do? If the mfgr. touts the speakers as having hand-matched drivers, you need new speakers. If not, then replacement drivers installed at your home should do just fine...-RW- | |
| Is there a service to install CDs in a Server? Yep. Hire a neighborhood teenage kid to sit there and load the discs. He could use the dough and for a couple hundred bucks, you'll not have to endure the drudgery that awaits you...-RW- | |
| Whats the best vintage Yamaha amp to invest in? I'd be looking for the older models that had the real wooden cases, they were very nicely made and sound pretty good. When they switched over to cheesy-looking metal cases that had a simulated woodgrain I thought that they took a decided step back... | |
| Purist Audio Design - Dominus Interconnect Cable There *is* no justification from dropping 5 large on an interconnect cable.

| What Songs Do You Have Several Renditions Of? Buconero, have you actually listened to all 985 versions of that song? It would take you 65.6 hours, almost 3 days, to play every version just once if the song is 4 minutes long.I cannot imagine wanting to hear the same song performed 985 times. Y... | |
| The Top Speaker for less than $500 You will get a lot of bang for the buck if you are willing to buy used speakers. I recently saw 2 pairs of ADS 710s here for less than $300. It would be very difficult to find a better speaker for that little money.Nonetheless, if you *must* purch... | |
| Ear 834 integrated tube amp good match tekton lore "Thoughts?"Yes. Wait until you get the speakers attached to the EAR amp see how this combo sounds to you. -RW- | |

| When to go solid state vs. vacuum? Butler amps would seem to give you the best of both worlds: Tube sweetness mated to MOSFET output. And the Butler amps NEVER need biasing and they will last 25 years or more - truly set-and-forget. Check 'em out:www.butleraudio.com-RW- | |
| Opinions? Re-thinking my Gallo reference 3.5's. SPectron amps are used by Anthony Gallo when he demos his speakers. I think you have a perfect system for those speakers...-RW- | |
| Best speaker for under 2gs The Gallo 3.1s on Agon right now are a great deal at $1400, grab 'em while you can...-RW- | |
| Selling dispute. Please comment. Don't sweat it. Send him the best manuals you can procure and send it to him. If he complains, tell him to go pound sand...-RW- | |
